With a "gotta stay focused" mantra, Stilla knows no boundaries when it comes to expressing himself artistically through music and creatively through business strategies. Growing up in a music-oriented home, Stilla was rooted with the love for music early on, which sparked his passion for music production that ultimately lead to learning the business side of the things. Since ‘94, Stilla has had his hand in music production, and engineering starting off as one of the original members of Bay Area group T.X.P., and he has continued to be a student of the music business.
In the beginning, Stilla’s goal was to create music that resonated well with others, while crafting up solid bodies of work, and since then his goals have stretched far beyond music production. Stilla began networking and producing a broader assortment of music for projects that included scores for documentaries, music for short-series, international films, branding, Network TV, and commercials all while producing over 30+ commercially released projects, and releasing over 10+ music videos.
Stilla began working closely with, developing, and managing long-time friend and artist M Dot Brando, who has now evolved into arguably one of the Bay Area’s most consistent Latin artists. Stilla’s early hints at M Dot Brando to embrace his Latin musical roots proved to be rewarding as the two infused Latin rudiments into their projects garnering them well over 500k+ YouTube and 500k+ Spotify streams (and growing), several cable network placements, in addition to signing a sync deal with an agent.
With numerous albums, singles, EPs, Mixtapes, and various projects under his belt, Stilla continues to manage the behind-the-scenes administrative work, marketing strategies, and promotions for himself along with his business partners. He continues to collaborate and curate projects, while continuously exploring the many avenues of the music business. He has championed his new- role as seasoned producer/manager/investor and continues to educate himself in the music business.
